After several months of investigation, on Friday law enforcement officers from the DEAHIDTA, consisting of officers from the Webster, Dudley, Southbridge, Charlton and Oxford police departments, special agents from the ATF, the Central Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council SWAT Team, and K-9 Teams from Webster, Sutton, Shrewsbury and Douglas obtained warrants and simultaneously searched three Webster locations. The three locations were 35 Pearl St. (Specialty Auto), 10 Village Way, Apt. 8 (residence of Jorge Rodriguez) and 41 Negus St., Apt. 2 (residence of Candido Rodriguez).

As a result, officers confiscated a hand gun, seized $6,500 in cash and a quantity of oxycodone, and Webster K-9 "Red" located more than a half-kilo of cocaine at Specialty Auto, according to a Webster Police Department press release. The following two people were charged with cocaine trafficking, distribution of a Class B substance, possession of a Class B substance and conspiracy to violate drug laws:
